I have installed adt bundle eclipse. However, I can't seems to run the AVD. I have the problem of
ADB server didn't ACK
failed to start daemon
I have search on how to solve it, I've read to type adb kill-server and adb start-server. when I typed that, it says
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *"
Please follow below steps:-
Go to run
open command prompt
get into your platform-tools under android sdk.
now type command: adb kill-server
then upon success type: adb start-server
Thats'it.
Let me know if you still facing any issue..
I had this exact problem on my Vista x64 system. I solved it by doing the following:
Ctrl-Alt-Del, start Task Manager, under Processes tab, check for "shuame_helper.exe". It was there from running RootGenius. I clicked End Process, then went back to the command prompt and entered adb start-server and it worked!
Try below step from DDMS in eclipse :
So I had the same problem and failed in all the same ways as above:
adb kill-server
followed by
adb start-server
still resulted in the ADB server didn't ACK error.
The other common suggestion of using the task manager to kill the process also
failed as it seemed that something restarted adb automatically? It would disappear for a second, then there were two adb processes ,then there was one again.
Exasperated.
I restarted Windows in safe mode.
This ensured that adb wasn't started.
Shut down and restart normally. Problem solved.
Just for good measure, I also updated eclipse and android at this point, but I think that the safe mode restart fixed it.
Give it a try when all else fails.
When this happens I open Activity Monitor (on mac) or Task Manager (on windows) and look for the ADB process and force close it (sometimes there are more than one, close those to) and then press the Run button again in Android Studio or Eclipse.
1)Open task manager first
2)close any instance of adb.exe(end task it)
3)open command prompt
4) type adb start-server(you may have to execute it twice)
5) try to run now.
I had this problem using the latest ADT, SDK and Eclipse on Windows 7. I had an old ASUS TF101 and an HTC HD connected with their respective docking software. When I looked in processor tab of the Windows task manager I could see two instances of the adb.exe, one loaded and another one looking like it is trying to load.
I killed the PC connecting software (process in task manager) for the ASUS, the HTC Sync wasn't running. There is now one adb.exe running and both devices are recognised in Eclipse and in the command prompt (adb devices). You may need to restart Eclipse.

When I run ADB and type in "adb start-server" it says
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
could not read ok from ADB Server, error = 109
*failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
what should I do? I've tried killing the server and restarting the pc but nothing seems to work. my pc recognizes the phone and the adb process only appears briefly when i try to start the server. also, it gets stuck on wating for device when i type "fastboot oem unlock"
Looks like windows is messing up the ports (reserving them). I have the same issue with docker containers and this worked for me:
Run this in the command line (as administrator)
net stop winnat
adb.exe start-server
net start winnat
Happened with me as well. Just check there might be an existing adb process running in your task manager. Just kill the process and run the 'adb start-server' command.
Hope it helps
Happened to me today.
I realized it happened when I started Android Studio after having my Genymotion emulator running, so I fixed it by closing everything (even check task manager for a running instance of adb).
After closing everything, I opened Android Studio first and then the emulator and everything was ok.
In my case the issue was in IntelliJ IDEA plugin - Aladdin Logcat. Turned it off and everything works now.
This happened to me because I had Oculus Developer Hub open.
Even if you're not using its adb features, it will constantly try to start its own version of adb and kill the one you're trying to launch.
[2014-04-02 12:30:28 - EsrtDummyproject1] The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured.
[2014-04-02 12:30:28 - EsrtDummyproject1] You must restart adb and Eclipse.
[2014-04-02 12:30:28 - EsrtDummyproject1] Please ensure that adb is correctly located at 'C:\Tulika\SOFTWARES\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130522\sdk\platform-tools\adb.
I tried all the ways to solve it.
I have killed the adb.exe process from Task manager.
Restarted eclipse.
But still facing with the same issue.
Can anyone help resolving it ?
Try below steps:
Close the Eclipse if running
Go to the Android SDK platform-tools directory in Command Prompt
type adb kill-server
then type adb start-server
No error message is thrown while starting ADB server, then adb is started successfully.
Now you can start Eclipse again.
it worked for me this way, Eclipse should be closed before issuing these commands.
Restart your phone as well!
It happens sometimes if you use more than one instances of eclipse
To repair logging do:
1. Unplug the device
2. Close all Eclipse windows
3. Restart adb in command line: adb kill-server and than adb start-server
4. Run again Eclipse and connect device
Sometimes this also helps, Go to Eclipse Window > Perspective > DDMS and than from Device sub-window choose Reset adb
When I try to test my Android application with an android emulator as always I now suddenly get an error message. I'm working with Windows 8. So far I tried the following things which unfortunately could not solve the problem:
reinstalling eclipse with android adt
reinstalling java
installing "android studios" first solved the problem but after one day mysteriously also here adb, stopped working with the error message given in the title " ADB not responding ...
furthermore I unsuccessfully tried out some advice from Mr. Google:
Stopping adb.exe via task-manager and restarting eclipse / android studios
"adb kill-server" then "start-server" via command prompt
setting the path to adb.exe as an environment variable
switching off any antivirus or firewall
starting the IDEs as an administrator
updating the IDEs
The only thing I can remember doing which may have destroyed adb on my computer for all times: I connected my motorola smartphone to my laptop and installed the motorola usb drivers but as I said the adb also won't work with the emulator.
Any help would be kindly appreciated. The issue bothers me for more than an entire day now. Maybe someone had similar problems on Windows 8 ?
On OSX helped:
Close Android Studio
Kill all processess using 5037 port
sudo lsof -i |grep 5037
sudo kill PID_NUMBER
Run adb devices from console
adb devices
Meanwhile the emulator is working again. I cannot definetly say what solved the problem. What It could be a combination of two things:
Deleting the hidden ".android" folder under C:\Users...
(Probably there was some malfunctioning automatically created code)
Deleting and recreating the Path variable to the folder with adb.exe ( ...\sdk\platform-tools\;)
Finally it could be a Windows 8 issue which I don't understand.
Try this,
Open a command prompt with administration permission and type
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
This worked for me
Edit: Windows only
Kill the adb.exe with a command prompt. Open a command prompt were your adb.exe is located and type
adb kill-server
Maybe HTTP Proxy blocked the localhost 127.0.0.1:5037
If you have config the HTTP Proxy, make sure to exclude the localhost like picture below
Also, port can also be blocked by the firewall and anti-virus firewall, please notice as well.
Try this,
at the prompt try adb kill-server
Start one of your AVDs
at the prompt try adb root
The prompt should say adbd is already running as root.
That should fix it.
In case it helps anyone else, for me the problem was related with the USB hub that the tablet was plugged into on the computer (unplugging the webcam which was in use fixed it).
I got the same error. Don't worry. I have an solution. Go to Task Manager. Kill the process called adb.exe. You will find 2 or 3 processes. Kill all of them. You are done. It will work.
I have the same problems. Verify port 5037 is free and ports 5555 to 5585 are available and never used by another process.
"ADB server sets up connections to all running emulator/device instances. It locates emulator/device instances by scanning odd-numbered ports in the range 5555 to 5585"
FROM: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
To find out which process is listening on a port on Windows yo can use:
C:> netstat -an -o
FROM: How can you find out which process is listening on a port on Windows?
I had the same problem, here is my simple fix:
-Go to task manager in windows, look for adb.exe, and kill it
-Go to command prompt, and tap adb devices ==> it will automaticaly start adb daemon
I finally just restarted the computer, and that solved the issue for me.
Uninstall HTC Sync. Or disable it somehow.
Try to open adb from command prompt from directory location as <sdk>\platform-tools,
If adb file is missing try to re-install Android SDK with latest version,
And try to run again..
I think issues will solved, by this procedure.
I saw this on a Mac OS X.
I shut down Android Studio and ran adb get-state in the terminal. When I started Android Studio back up, the warning had gone away.
BTW, I did just try restarting Android Studio without any luck. I am sure a restart of OS would have fixed it too.
The same thing with the Asus Sync utility (with the both our Transformer's 700 and 701).
I think there is a USB-port conflict between ABD driver and Sync utility.
Exit from Sync utility resolve the problem.
Looks like this could be caused by a bunch of different issues. This just happened to me because I had my android phone device plugged in for USB debugging, then after a few hours (and multiple android studio/phpstorm restarts) I had to do unplug the device manually. Things started working again after unplugging.
I have faced this problem few days ago. When I opened my task manager it showing me two adb runnig. It may be because of I am using mobogenie for connecting my android phone for debugging application. This problem is because of moboginie and adt port conflict. then I have followed following procedure to sort out this issue.
!) close eclipse
2) Go to task manager and kill all adb processes.
3) Now go to platform-tools in android sdk
4)press shift+right click mouse and select "open command window here" option
5) type
adb kill-server
adb start-server
6)if server sucessfully started then start eclipse and then connect your phone
(Remember dont connect your phone before starting eclipse)
Following works for me every time:
go to File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
select Invalidate and Restart
And, You are good to go.
I have spent around 5 hrs on this problem. I have read the same question on stackoverflow, but none of the solutions solved my problem...
First, it gives me:
[2013-02-28 14:48:21 - adb] ADB server didn't ACK
[2013-02-28 14:48:21 - adb] * failed to start daemon *
To solve that, I kill the adb.exe in task manager, restart eclipse. Then go to DDMS, reset adb. NO LUCK...
Then, I go to command line window, type adb kill-server and adb start-server, it gives me:
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
fail to start deamon
Now I don't know what to do. I have a project to develop on eclipse, so really need to solve this problem soon. Someone please help!!
(As many solution indicated, I killed my adb.exe thousands of times, but it showed up immediately in task manager after 2 seconds. )
I had the same problem, here is what actually helped me:
Go to platform-tools in Android SDK directory.
Type:
adb nodaemon server
Output:
cannot bind 'tcp:5037'
Now I know the reason adb not responsive is because it can not bind to port 5037. Use following command to find out the process that occupies the port:
netstat -ano | findstr 5037
Output:
Note that process with PID 4888 is occupying port 5037.
Open Task Manager, click on Details tab, find the process and kill it, tfadb.exe in this case. it may vary for me it is sh.exe and port 4599 and delete all adb.exe
Retry adb kill-server and adb start-server, hopefully adb is up running fine.
Killing the process in the TASK MANAGER solves it in my case. After killing it run adb start-server or adb devices and you should be fine
solved the problem.
Because I have a small assistant plugin installed on my pc, it has an adb.exe running in the background all the time. So after I uninstalled the plugin, the error has gone!
I have an HTC device, whose driver software (HTC Sync) tried to run processes using adb at the same time that I was trying to run from Eclipse. If you have a program like HTC Sync for your device that might have been needed to install the driver, close this program to keep it from executing adb in parallel. So far for me, this has fixed it 100 percent.
Sometimes when we are running SnapPea, it is running a background process called "wandoujia_adb". when killing the process and running the command "adb start-server" in cmd promt, i get the following o/p text to cmd promt:
C:\Users**>adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Here Is your Solution
Kill ADB process
CLose Eclipse
Remove Lock File .metadata of workspace
Ensure Only one Java Whether JDK or JRE in installed
if found remove the previous version
Use Ccleaner to remove Temp files
Clean Registry too
Restart the system
Restart Eclipse
If you have your device connected and you are trying to test through an emulator, make sure that a device sync agent isnt running in the background. This relaunches the adb even after you kill it in task manager.
I have tried many approaches I've found here, but just one worked out perfectly:
UNINSTALL AVAST ANTIVIRUS!
I had a mobogenie plugin installed on my machine which was continuously running adb. Uninstalled it and got the problem solved.
In my case I was using the mobogeine universal driver, when I end task adb.exe from task manager, It restarts again in 1-2 seconds occupying another port number.
To get rid of this problem I have to disconnect my phone & 1st kill mobogeine driver, then adb.exe does not restarts agian. Now run adb start-server . If the success message shown then everything worked perfectly.
After I start the emulator by hitting Debug in Eclipse, after certain time it disconnects from the ADB, but the emulator stays open. It is responsive, I can navigate and start apps.
How can I attach back the emulator to ADB, to be able to debug from Eclipse?
(the current workaround is the terminate the emulator, close Eclipse and restart both of them, which takes 10 minutes as you know the emulator needs time to start up)
EDIT 1
Check out this image:
EDIT 2
After I kill and restart server. One emulator process shows up in Devices tab in Eclipse. But that cannot be expanded, and I don't see sub-processes.
I can't hit debug already, as it says: Debug already running. (How to I stop the debug?)
If I managed to start the debugging of another project, It hangs out in the emulator telling me: Waiting for the debugger to attach. Nothing happens.
As you said, the problem is not Eclipse losing contact with the Emulator, but ADB - the Android Debug Bridge - losing contact with it. As Eclipse uses ADB to communicate with the emulator when ADB is broken Eclipse can do nothing.
To fix this stop the ADB server by running the following command:
adb kill-server
Eclipse will then usually try to restart ADB, or you can restart it yourself by running an ADB command, such as:
adb devices
If you do, you'll see output like this:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
You can also do this via the mouse, using the Reset adb option in the Devices view in Eclipse.
It's also worth noting the Console view has two modes, DDMS and Android. You're usually in Console mode but it's DDMS mode which will show ADB status messages. Select modes by clicking the button with the Monitor icon, or using the arrow next to it:
If all else fails, try killing the adb processes from the OS. On Windows XP I use:
TASKKILL /F /IM adb.exe
There is an easier way. From eclipse you can reset the adb from DDMS panel.
Here's a short video on doing that "Reset ADB on DDMS"
Here's a quick screenshot of where you can get the option.
Sometimes a kill-server won't help at my machine (WinXP). For example I can't see the emulator in the DDMS-View any more or I do see it but no processes running on it.
In these cases I close the emulator and eclipse and manually kill the adb.exe-process from the process list.
When I then restart eclipse and the emulator, everything's fine again.
Now I just need a keyboard-shortcut for that :-)
on a mac, i just had to kill adb from activity manager and manually re-open the program again. had eclipse open all through and it worked just fine.
Try with adb kill-server and adb start-server. Even then the same problem occurs kill your running process from ddms prespective. Refer this link(http://www.jiahaoliuliu.com/2011/02/stopping-android-applications-already.html). This solved my issue. Hope for you also.
I am testing an application on an Android 4.0 (API level 14) emulator and once I run the app the emulator starts up and as soon as it loads, Eclipse DDMS disconnects from the emulator.
Here is the workaround that I am using: Open terminal, navigate to platform tools (C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\ or wherever you have your android-sdk installed), and run adb kill-server, and then run, adb start-server. DDMS should now list the emulator - from Java perspective, right click on the app -> Run As -> Android Application.
Hope this helps.
My handy bash script
#!/bin/bash
./path/to/adb kill-server
./path/to/adb start-server
./path/to/adb devices
